Possibly overlooked...

...in the fuss about the ball-out calls is that our guys had to be gassed compared to deeper MSU.

Effectively two 5-minute timeouts for free.

Did they impact the game?

Could not have hurt.

Agreed definitely never hurts when we get more time at the end of the game

I think these guys are pretty much used to playing ironman minutes. I am sure that the starting 5 is DEAD fit, only one I would worry about is Chukwu as it has to be brutal for a guy that big to play ironman minutes and you can see when he gets tired. The other 4 I don't worry about it. The fouls we have to give are way more of an issue these days than the kid's minutes. They also were playing pretty slow all day
